By the writer of the Cutler series and the Logan series.

What is The Orphans Series about?

A best-seller writer in the Gothic horror and family saga genre, V.C. Andrews died of breast cancer in 1986. Since then, books under her name are still published, but they are all written by ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman.

At the end of the nineties, the writer released a new family saga, The Orphans consisting of four novellas and a full-length novel. It follows four teenage girls—Butterfly, Crystal, Brooke, and Raven— who meet in a Fear Orphanage, with each book retracing one of the girl’s tragic stories, and the last book to tell their last adventure.

This is a departure from the previous V.C. Andrews’ series, which were five-novel sagas (with the last one being a prequel).

By the writer of the Cutler series.

What is The Logan Series about?

V.C. Andrews was an American writer best known for her best-selling book Flowers in the Attic. Her novels were popular enough that after she died in 1986, her estate hired a ghostwriter, Andrew Neiderman, to continue writing novels under her name. Now, Virginia Andrews’s name is considered a valuable commercial asset, and Andrew Neiderman has written numerous books under her name.

This is the case with The Logan series, published between 1996 and 1999. This twisted family story follows Melody Logan, a young woman from a West Virginia trailer park, who left her home with her mother following her father’s death.

She meets her father’s family at Cape Code with whom she now must live and soon has to deal with her relatives’ secrets they all prefer to forget. As often in V.C. Andrews, the books contain incest, super religious family members, and a young girl with absentee/dead parents forced to live somewhere new.

Coming soon on Lifetime!

What is The Cutler Series about?

Lifetime has found success with adaptations of V.C. Andrews’ novels. After the recent adaptation of The Landry series, with V.C. Andrews’ Ruby Movie Series Event, the channel has announced that it will develop Andrews’ five-part Cutler series for the screen.

Like the Landry series, The Cutler Series is actually not written by V.C. Andrews but by Andrew Neiderman, the ghostwriter hired by her estate to continue to write novels to be published under her name (Virginia Andrews’s name is considered a valuable commercial asset). V.C. Andrews had started writing the first book in the series, and Neiderman finished it.

Published between 1990 and 1993, The Cutler series retraces the dark history of the Cutler, Booth, and Longchamp families. The story begins by telling us the twisted tale of Dawn Longchamp, whose entire world crumbles after the sudden death of her mother.

A werewolves story with action and romance.

What is the Alpha & Omega series about?

The Alpha & Omega series is an urban fantasy series written by Patricia Briggs. The story follows werewolves couple Charles Cornick and Anna Latham and is set in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson series. It is considered a companion series, and to know more about its place next to Mercy Thompson’s story, check out our Mercy Thompson reading order.

Charles is the first-born werewolf, meaning he is born a werewolf, as opposed to Changed. He has all the strength, speed, pack magic, protections, senses, and regenerative powers as other werewolves. He can also change faster than any other werewolf. Anna Latham is originally a member of one of the two Chicago packs, in which she was abused for years. She is an Omega werewolf, and these werewolves are highly valued because they have a soothing, calming influence on other werewolves. B
